Cosmology Workshop

Arrival Sundays June 29, July 6, or 13; Departures Saturdays July 5, 12, or 19

This Cosmology conference, organized in part through Los Alamos National Laboratories, will take place at St. John's College for a ninth consecutive summer session. Participants will discuss recent developments in cosmology, especially those related to current and expected observational advances, including the cosmic microwave background, large-scale structure, and dark matter and energy. For more information regarding registration and conference details, please contact Cosmology.

Information for Cosmology Workshop Participants
The majority of your meetings will again take place in the Junior Common Room on the second floor of Peterson Student Center (number 1 on the campus map). A few computers will be available to participants in Evans Science Laboratory (#10). Further details to be announced.

Cosmology participants will be housed in the suites and apartments located at the upper end of campus, as well as in single dorm rooms in the lower dorm area. The suites and apartments are located uphill from Peterson Student Center, about a three to five minute walk. Your group will be using suite 1, the first floor of suite 4, and suite 5, all of which have a common living area, five single bedrooms, and a large bathroom (#'s 43 & 40-41). Several two-bedroom apartments (#'s 44-46) are also reserved for your group. The apartments are located a little farther uphill from the suites and have a private bath, full kitchen, and living room. (Please note that we try to keep the apartment kitchens stocked with the appropriate plates, pots, and utensils, but cannot guarantee you will have everything you need to make a four-course gourmet meal!) Student dorm, Calliope, (# 25) is located in the lower dorm area on the other side of the center of campus from the suites and apartments, quite close to Peterson Student Center.

Guests staying in the suites and apartments receive daily lunch in the Dining Hall, while students staying in the dorms receive lunch and dinner. Breakfast and dinner can be purchased in the Dining Hall for $6.00 and $7.50, respectively, and the Coffee Shop is open Monday through Friday 7:00a- 5:00p and Saturday 8:00a - 12:00p.
